This book explores the history of children's toys and games bearing
racial stereotypes, and the role these objects played in the
creation and maintenance of structures of racialism and racism in
the United States, from approximately 1865 to the 1930s. This time
period is one in which the creation of structures of childhood and
children's socialization into race was fostered. Additionally,
commodities, like toys, were didactic and disciplinary media in the
creation, modification and reproduction of Victorian society. This
volume: will shed light on issues of identity, ideology, and
hegemony; will appeal to those interested in historical
archaeology, critical theory, and constructions of racism and
class, as well as material culture scholars, and antiques
collectors; will be suitable for upper-level courses in historical
archaeology, modern American history, and material culture studies.
Collaborative archaeology and the lasting character of a historic
Black community The Archaeology of Race and Class at Timbuctoo is
the first book to examine the historic Black community of
Timbuctoo, New Jersey, which was founded in 1826 by formerly
enslaved migrants from Maryland and served as a stop on the
Underground Railroad. In collaboration with descendants and
community members, Christopher Barton explores the
intersectionality of life at Timbuctoo and the ways Black residents
resisted the marginalizing structures of race and class.Despite
some support from local Quaker abolitionists, the people of
Timbuctoo endured strained relationships with neighboring white
communities, clashes with slave catchers, and hostilities from the
Ku Klux Klan. Through a multiscalar approach that ranges from
landscape archaeology and settlement patterns to analysis of
consumer artifacts, this book demonstrates how residents persevered
to construct their own identities and navigate poverty. Barton
incorporates oral histories from community elders that offer
insights into the racial tensions of the early- to mid-twentieth
century and convey the strong, lasting character of the community
in the face of repression. Weaving together memories and inherited
accounts, current archaeological investigations, historical
records, and comparisons to nearby Black-established communities of
the era, this book illuminates the everyday impacts of slavery and
race relations in a part of the country that seemed to promise
freedom and highlights the use of archaeology as a medium for
social activism. Publication of this work made possible by a
Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant
from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

"Drugs and Empires" introduces new research from a range of
historians that re-evaluates the relationship between intoxicants
and empires in the modern world. It re-examines controversies about
such issues as the Asian opium trade or the sale of alcohol in
Africa. It addresses new areas of research, including the impact of
imperial drugs profits on American history, or the place of African
states in the development of international regulations. The outcome
is to provoke new perspectives on both drugs and empires.

In 2013, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) estimated that
about 1.5 million veterans required mental health care, including
services for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). MDD is a debilitating
mental illness related to reduced quality of life and productivity,
and increased risk for suicide. VA also plays a role in suicide
prevention. This book begins with a brief overview of the public
health framework for suicide prevention, which forms the basis for
both the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and the VHA's
approach to suicide prevention. The book discusses suicide
surveillance; suicide risk factors and protective factors; suicide
prevention interventions; potential issues for Congress; VA's data
on veterans with MDD, including those prescribed an antidepressant;
the extent that veterans with MDD who are prescribed
antidepressants receive recommended care and the extent to which VA
monitors such care; and the quality of data VA requires VAMCs to
collect on veteran suicides.
In recent years, both domestic and imported produce have been
linked to reported outbreaks of food-borne illness. Contamination
in produce is of particular concern because produce is often
consumed raw. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has primary
responsibility for ensuring the safety of both domestic and
imported fresh produce. The authors were asked to examine (1) the
resources FDA has spent on fresh produce safety and how it has
allocated those resources, (2) the effectiveness of FDA's actions
to oversee fresh produce safety, and (3) the extent to which FDA's
planned actions to enhance fresh produce oversight address
identified challenges. For this review, the authors analysed FDA
spending data and estimates and FDA activities data, reviewed FDA
plans, and interviewed FDA officials and others.

Presenting examples from the fields of critical race studies,
cultural resource management, digital archaeology, environmental
studies, and heritage studies, Trowels in the Trenches demonstrates
the many different ways archaeology can be used to contest social
injustice. This volume shows that activism in archaeology does not
need to involve radical or explicitly political actions but can be
practiced in subtler forms as a means of studying the past,
informing the present, and creating a better future.In case studies
that range from the Upper Paleolithic period to the modern era and
span the globe, contributors show how contemporary economic,
environmental, political, and social issues are manifestations of
past injustices. These essays find legacies of marginalization in
art, toys, houses, and other components of the material world. As
they illuminate inequalities and forgotten histories, these case
studies exemplify how even methods such as 3-D modeling and
database management can be activist when they are used to preserve
artifacts and heritage sites and to safeguard knowledge over
generations. While the archaeologists in this volume focus on
different topics and time periods and use many different practices
in their research, they all seek to expand their work beyond the
networks and perspectives of modern capitalism in which the
discipline developed. These studies support the argument that at
its core, archaeology is an interdisciplinary research endeavor
armed with a broad methodological and theoretical arsenal that
should be used to benefit all members of society.
